A panorama of Mars billions of pixels - France Info

One of the images is part of the panorama of Mars made by NASA

More than six months, the time it took for the U.S. space agency to produce the first view of Mars in ultra high definition. After collecting 850 images taken by a camera with a telephoto lens and fifty taken by other equipment robot Curiosity, NASA has created a mosaic that allows you to see the area in which operates the explorer.

This panorama, which all are about 1.3 billion pixels, the better view is that we have been able to do so far in March. NASA also book with these images remarks on the elements that are around Curiosity. We thus find scientifically interesting elements like a broken robot on the passage of stone but also elements more “wink” like a rock shaped like a bird.
